Formal Business Attire for Men

Formal business attire for men is very strictly defined in many organizations. The very common business attire includes a business suit with a white or light colored cuffed shirt and a conservative tie. In India, office formal wear has been reduced from a suit to only light shirt and suit pants due to humid conditions and cost.

The minimum employers expect at interviews or at workplace is a standard plain collared, full sleeves shirts in combination with cotton pants, simple belt, plain tie, wrist watch and preferably short hair (without any gaudy dyes).

Casual and funky look only represents your careless or carefree attitude, which makes you undeserving for the job. Make sure that you remain simple and most importantly dignified, which automatically conveys that you are calm, passionate and intelligent enough to handle the job. It is better to let your dress do the talk before you do, in the interviews.

Here are some basic points of a business formal dressing for men:

Long hair styles, unshaved (except moustache)

Head covers that are compulsorily required for religious purposes or to honor cultural tradition are allowed – Sikhs. However, knife is a problematic. Optional things worn on special occasions are not recommended
